Deck Description

25 rats with built in coat of arms
thrumming stone (makes lots of rats) this is the best exploit for this card
elixir of immortality (recycle, life gain)
diabolic tutor (search for thrumming stone)

Add a whispersilk cloak or spidersilk net for some additional strategy

How to Play

this deck is simple its very fun to play and is sure to wow your opponents
play and use elixir of immortality on your first 2 turns if possible for immediate life boost
rat turn 3+
with any luck thrumming stone/diabolic tutor will be in your opening hand
diabolic tutor turn 4
thrumming stone turn 5
unleash rat storm

tweak land as necessary against rats to ensure you will have the mana you need to get strategy going EDIT my version is running 20 rats 28 land and 2 added artifacts.
it is a little slow but grows extremely fast post turn 5
Weaknesses: board sweepers, meddling mage, dentention sphere

I agree with the first guy kinda... you're gonna be pulling rats all over the place, so pack hunt is a little overkill, especially with thrumming stone in play, plus the forests required to play it take away from your swamps (which you will need at least 4 of in play, not counting colorless, if you wanna be effective).

I'd say drop hunt and the forests, drop one thrumming stone (you wont be able to play one until turn 5 and by then you'll have drawn at least 12 cards so you should have a tutor or thrumming stone in hand).

Cauldron of Souls will give all your rats a second chance right away and elixir will give them another shot after that.

Watch out for Counterbore or Splinter decks... You'll be SOL without a counter spell.

Oh, If you're dead set on using green... consider Glimpse of Nature?
And maybe add Everglades?

Sorry, I got a on a little soapbox there... I like the elixir/thrumming/relentless combo :-)
